5-3-6 I/O Module Calibration Calibration is to adjust the 
accuracy of ADAM module. There are several modes for module’s 
calibration: Zero calibration, Span calibration, CJC calibration, and 
Analog Output calibration. Only analog input and out- put modules can 
be calibrated, includes ADAM-5013, 5017, 5017H, 5018 and 5024. 
Zero Calibration 
1.   Apply power to the module and let it warm up for 30 minutes. 
2.   Make sure the module is correctly installed and properly configured 
for the input range you want to calibrate. 
3.    Use a precision voltage source to apply a calibration voltage to the V+ 
and V- terminals of the ADAM-5013, 5017, 5017H, and 5018 modules. 
4.    Click the Execute button.
